Belz Construction to build new Strayer University Project at Appling Farms Centre

Monday, July 12, 2010
Testa Cos. has closed on the land in Appling Farms Business Park where it will build a campus for Strayer University. 

The land is part of a 31.45-acre vacant lot that Belz subdivided when it developed Appling Farms, a mixed-use development along Interstate 40 between Whitten and Appling roads. The formal address of the entire parcel is 2209 Appling Road, and it has an appraised value of $3 million, according to the Shelby County Assessor of Property.

Testa earlier this month filed a $2.8 million permit application with the city-county Office of Construction Code Enforcement to build a two-story, 15,625-square-foot campus for Strayer University. The contractor is listed as Belz Investco GP.

A message left with Testa wasn’t immediately returned. Strayer operates campuses in 20 states and also offers an online degree program. In Tennessee, the university has campuses in Knoxville and Nashville, as well as two in Memphis, according to the school’s website. The Memphis sites include the Shelby Oaks Drive near Sycamore View Road, and the Thousand Oaks campus at 2620 Thousand Oaks Blvd. south of the I-240 Perkins exit.
